If the movement is decreased or stopped, then go to L&D and get monitored asap. If they do a NST and he is fine, then let nature run its course. You are only a few days overdue and can go up to 2 weeks. Don't rush to get induced or membranes stripped if your LO is fine. Interventions can get you closer to an emergency c section and that is not fun at all.

The biggest question is is he moving at all?? because if he isnt get your butt to the hospital now! and give your OB a call asap. If he is, but not very much, it could be because hes descended towards the birth canal and its hard for him to move as much. best way to tell...have you dropped at all or more than before? do you feel pressure? if so its coming soon. My hubby and I did the deed about 3 days before I was to be induced just to see if it would induce me (semen has prolactin in it that naturally induces you) and it did. within 12 hrs I was in labor. Call your OB if your afraid tho. Its too late in the game to be shy!!! good luck momma!!!
